Steroid A-ring aromatisation of C-ring substituted 1,4-dien-3-ones

A number of A-ring steroidal 1,4-dien-3-ones 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been aromatised in zinc/pyridine-water; the products depend upon the position and type of C-ring substituents and provide new evidence in support of a radical anion mechanism.
